Global Warming? What Happened to Global Warming?
Amidst the liberal lovefest coverage emerges a story that is getting moderate play from the Farmer’s Almanac that is tying in to news from the Midwest indicating that the fear mongering MDI* may be full of nothing but hot air themselves.
The FoxNews/AP headline reads, “Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Colder, ‘Catastrophic’ Winter“:
People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers’ Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.
“Numb’s the word,” says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.
The almanac’s 2009 edition, which goes on sale Tuesday, says at least two-thirds of the country can expect colder-than-average temperatures this winter, with only the Far West and Southeast in line for near-normal readings.
“This is going to be catastrophic for millions of people,” said almanac editor Peter Geiger.
The almanac predicts above-normal snowfall for the Great Lakes and Midwest, especially during January and February, and above-normal precipitation for the Southwest in December and for the Southeast in January and February. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions will likely have an unusually wet or snowy February, the almanac said.
The Farmer’s Almanac has a longterm forecast accuracy of 85%. How many 5-day forecast whores have 85% accuracy? The short answer is NONE! And they are the same pinheads pushing this global warming BS.
Tying into that story is another from the Midwest as early as… YESTERDAY!
Here’s some news you probably hoped you wouldn’t hear for another four months.
The National Weather Service says areas of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin could see patchy frost this weekend. That’s right, patchy frost in August. emphasis mine
The weather agency says clear skies could allow temperatures to dip into the low to mid-30s late tonight into early Monday.
The FoxNews/AP story goes on to predict warmer than normal temps in the South for next summer and the frost story blames an “unusual cold-air mass from Canada” but we all know where this is actually coming from – decreased sunspot activity.
As reported here on Gribbit’s Word last week…
An expert from the National Autonomous University of Mexico predicted that in about ten years the Earth will enter a “little ice age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.
Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera warned first of a short-term cooling period followed by re-warming lasting a few years. This he warns will be followed by a period of decreased sunspot activity lasting 60-80 years. This 60-80 year Minimal period will be similar to the ‘Little Ice Age’.
So my question to all those members of the MDI* gathered at the Jackass Convention in Denver this week is this… What happened to anthropological global warming?
In the interest of accuracy, I do believe that global warming exists. But I, and it seems that I’m not the only one, believe that it is a natural phenomenon that is tied to solar activity NOT the asinine premise that it is caused man’s use of fossil fuels. The people who believe in that load of bovine excrement are card-carrying members of the MDI*
